Default No Start , No Power

Hi, I have 2 X 1990 ZR-1 cars. They have been rarely driven last few years.
I want to sell them both.
But, the black car won't start.
We had it running 2 yrs ago, then while at idle it runs out of gas. Ended up putting in 2 new fuel pumps, fuel filter, new gas, and car refuses to start.

All cylinders have spark, but may be a weaker spark, can't tell for sure. Also put fuel pressure gauge on and it was I believe 50-55 lbs. starter cranks ok.
I am not sure if fuel getting into cylinders.
I had a local mechanic look at it, but he didn't seem too smart.

The red car will start with bypassing Or jumping a purple wire under the hood.
BUT, when I test drive, it has maybe 100 hp, runs smooth, but can barely get to speed limit going downhill.

Any ideas ? Where could I find a good ZR-1 mechanic in Alberta ?
Thanks,
